The Tower of Babel (Genesis 11: 1-9)
Termanu (Pa'da)
Uma puni madema Babel
- Makasososan-na, basa leoina manai daebafak-ka, lanuu ka'da dede'ak esa, ma kokolan-nala matak esa.
- Lelek, laleu-lalaak leo daebafak-ka boboan dulu leu boema, ala losa masadokek esa nai Babilonia, boema ala leo lahele leme ndia leona.
- Esa kokolak no esa nae, “Mai fo, ata tao batu cetak, fo ata hotun losa natea.” Boema ala hapu batu cetak, soaneu tao uma batu, ma ter, fo lakadiditak lenik-kana.
- Beekola lae, “Mai fo ata tapadedeik kota, ma uma puni madema esa, poin-na losa lalai, fo ela ita nanakoa-nanakiok, ma ita ta tapasasala leo daebafak-ka lala'en-na teu fa.”
- Boema, Manetualain kona mai, fo Ana mete kota, ma uma puni madema fo, hataholi daebafak-ka tao-nak ndia.
- Boema Manetualain nae, “Hataholi ia-la, leoina esa, ma dede'ak esa, de ia, besak-ka sila dale tutu'u makasososan-na. Ta dook-ka so'on te, neukose ala bisa tao su'di beek fo, ala lahiik-kana.
- Malole lenak, Ata kona teu, fo sese'do-babalik dede'an-nala, fo ela esa ta nalelak esa dede'an-na so'on.”
- Manetualain tao tapasasalas leo daebafak-ka lala'en-na neu-a, enon-na leondiak. Boema, ala ta tao kota ndia so'on.
- Hu ndia de, losa besak ia, kota ndia na'de Babel, nanahu Manetualain tao tasi'bu basa leoina-la dede'an-na neme ndia, ma Manetualain tao tapasasalas leme ndia, leo basa daebafak-ka lala'en-na leu.
